Under God

Praise the Lord for He is risen Can't teach it in school, can preach it in prison Liberal leadership is way out of hand Time we stood up and took control of our land We survived many wars and a major depression But can we survive this new oppression Millions of people see their rights undefended So the Anti-American is not offended We founded this country on freedom of choice Now it appears we have no voice The dissident one who cries out loud Has far more rights than the patriotic crowd We can't have a prayer or a moment of silence We are asked to accept random acts of violence Our leaders are oblivious to the people's need While our corporate structure is infected with greed We can no longer see where we need to go Our morals and values have hit an all time low We need to cure this massive infection We need to start moving in a different direction On this sea of discontent we will ride To recapture our country and restore our pride To the home of the brave and the land of the free One nation, UNDER GOD, sweet liberty.
